An amateur found a profound truth
Buried inside a riddle
Barking from a distant field
Chills down the spine
From a newborn fear
Parking in front of
An elevator door
Constraination felt
Outage Problems
Facebook’s having problems, but it must assure it’s backers
your blackouts have nothing to do with all those Russian hackers.
It’s just a little downtime, like a much needed vacation.
It has nothing to do with our revealing information.
We would never violate your sacred privacy.
By the way, please say, “Get well” to your poor old aunt Bee.
There’s no need to read the fine print, go ahead and skim it.
By the way, your credit card is real close to its limit.
Just consider this time off a hazard of our age.
Apologies, we must go now and spy another page.
Rocky Shiitake
'Shrooms of all kinds play with our minds, infold like little umbrellas. Some that you find could be unkind. They can be rough little fellas. But everyone loves a Shiitake. Their energy makes you feel cocky. They taste really good with Japanese food. Especially when there is sake.
Hue and Cry
I shook out the sleep dust from your pillow. Seemed as if you'd dreamed in black and white. I was thinking more in terms of color. So I had to wake you every night. Surely there must somewhere be a flower, spot of sunlight or a slice of sky. Now I have to wake you every hour, dabbing at the grayish tears you cry.
Smirky Jerky
Catholic boys in MAGA hats, bothersome as swarming gnats.
Worse, in fact, ’cause they’re much louder.
Couldn’t make their parents prouder.
White boys smirking, taunting, yelling. Border walls is what they’re selling.
Theirs is an exclusive school, contoured to the rich and cruel.
They think that they own the land. Orange Man’s their wizard grand.
Their bravado makes us grateful that we are not all that hateful.
Parents, teachers, show some guts. Put some leashes on these mutts.
No excuse for how they acted. Some folks just should be redacted.
